As a member of the post-war artists’ collective Gutai, Japanese abstract painter Kazuo Shiraga (1924–2008) began action painting using his feet in the late 1950s. His technique involved grasping a rope suspended from the ceiling above a canvas on the floor, then sweeping paint across it in all directions with his feet. In the ensuing years he became a prolific, inventive, and pioneering experimentalist who tackled a range of media. Featuring a selection of the celebrated artist’s major works, this comprehensive overview of his life and career also includes Shiraga’s own writings, archival photos, interviews with various people connected to him, and a detailed chronology.
